Psychobabble

Résumé du livre

Dr. Stephen Briers is a clinical psychologist who has authored several best sellers, including Psychobabble, Superpowers for Parents and Brilliant CBT.

The central message of this book: The self-improvement industry offers easy answers to our issues. However, many of its recommendations do not hold up under examination. In reality, the prevalent idea that “we can do better” may cause us to worry that simply being an ordinary person with moderate success is insufficient. Practical tip: Delay important choices until you are in a negative mood. Despite the assertion that optimistic thinking will enhance every aspect of your life, it appears that there are instances where being grouchy is more appropriate. Research indicates that we make our most sound decisions when feeling down, as unhappy individuals are more diligent and less easily fooled than their cheerful counterparts. Recommended additional reading: The Antidote The Antidote serves as a guide for intelligent individuals looking to grasp the often-misconstrued concept of happiness. The author stresses that positive thinking is not the answer, but rather contributes to the problem. He presents an alternative, "negative" approach to happiness and achievement that involves embracing failure, pessimism, insecurity, and uncertainty – things we typically strive to avoid in our lives.
